I have a 25 year old house and getting around to repainting the garage for the first time. To my knowledge the old paint is latex as everything inside the house was done with latex. Ceilings and walls have a lightly textured surface.
Before painting, I got rid of all dirt, spider webs, etc.and throughly cleaned all ceilings and walls with **** and span.
I edged everything and did a fair bit of painting with a 3" brush (ceiling and walls) while waiting for all my supplies to arrive.
I had no issues at all with what I painted with the brush. I started today with the roller and now is where things go bad.
I started on a small section of wall to get used to the roller and have sections of the wall flaking off as I was doing the rolling. I called the local Kelly Moore paint dealer and they said the old paint could be failing and would need to either sand everything to remove old paint or prime it.
I don't see how priming helps as I would think it would also cause the paint to flake off while I am priming it unless I apply it with a brush and not a roller.
As mentioned already I did quite a bit of work with the brush and no issues at all (some of those areas were also primed due to underlying stains). Now whether those sections start to fail soon or if they hold up I don't know.
If i peel all the old paint off those sections would now be untextured (not prepared to texture and paint). So it seems like if I go that route I need to rip up everything I have painted already as well.
I would rather just brush everything even though it will take longer than I had planned if that holds up but don't want to do it and then all of it fail soon enough.
Anybody have experience with this type of problem?
